MAKAR VASILYEV

Through your kind donations, we were able to raise the required amount of money to pay for Makar’s treatment in Israel. The surgery went well!

Makar sustained a severe brain injury in an accident at judo competitions in November 2015.

The trauma only manifested itself a few days later when the boy suddenly felt sick and was taken to hospital with complaints of intense headache. The examination showed that the injury had caused a cerebral arterial aneurysm.

After the first surgery, with 5 microcoils installed in Makar’s artery, the boy’s life was still in danger as there was a high risk of aneurysm rupture.

A second intervention was the only chance to stop further aneurysm growth and prevent a possible aneurysm rupture.

The unique intervention took place on March, 6 in Tel Aviv. The Israeli surgeons performed a complex stent implantation using innovative high-technology methods. The doctors report a favourable outcome of the treatment.

Makar left the hospital and remains under medical supervision in Tel Aviv. Once the boy will have fully recovered, he’ll be able to return home.
